Parents:  Today, we began to review for the midterm exam. 

Each day leading up to the exam, your child will receive a review packet that we will go over in class.  We will answer some of the problems together, and students will answer some of the questions on their own.  For the next week, I will check each day's review packet at the beginning of class, to make sure each student has done their part of the work.  I will then give each student an answer sheet for that review section.  On exam day, I will collect ALL of the packets, and each one will be graded.  This is a chance to earn a several high grades, just by keeping up with the review.   There will be no homework per se before the exam next week; homework is to complete the review packets (if not already completed in class), and to STUDY!  I will be available for extra assistance for any student who needs extra help.
